It was a gloomy, rainy day, but that didn't stop Franklin Township residents from coming out to see the dedication of the refurbished Malaga Lake Park. The park, now named for Sgt. Ipollito (Lee) Gonzalez, honors his memory. Sgt. Gonzalez was killed in the line of duty in 1995.
The park is now officially called Sergeant Gonzalez Memorial Park.
The dedication was held during National Police Week, in concert with the Police Unity Tour, a multi-day bicycle ride honoring police officers who died in the line of duty. The ride raises funds for The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Several Franklin Township officers participated in the ride.
